Popcorn Flavor Shakers

Popcorn Flavor Shakers

Popcorn flavor shakers paired with Butter Popcorn for a Pop-tastic family movie night, with popcorn flavors everyone loves!

While I was at Sam’s Club, they had one of those food demos, where you could sample the popcorn, and they had chopped up OREO cookies in it. The OREOS were chopped until they were really fine, and mixed into the popcorn while it was still hot. I loved it. The popcorn was sweet, salty, and buttery, with that yummy cookie crumbs stuck to the exterior. It was great, and gave me a really fun idea.

We love popcorn in our house, but we all have different tastes. I love the sweet caramel corn, while my hubby loves spicy taco flavors, and my kids love cheesy and salty. I figured the best way to accommodate everyone is with popcorn flavor shakers!

So I made different flavor shakers so we could all enjoy the added flavors we enjoy most, whether that is sweet, salty, spicy, or something in between!

Why Make Popcorn Flavor Shakers?

1. Versatility: Popcorn flavor shakers offer a wide range of flavors, from savory to sweet, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
2. Convenience: These shakers make it easy to add a burst of flavor to your popcorn without any mess or fuss.
3. Customization: You can mix and match flavors to create your unique combinations, perfect for satisfying any craving.
4. Healthy Options: Many flavor shakers are designed to be low in calories, making them a healthier alternative to traditional buttery popcorn toppings.

Creative Uses for Popcorn Flavor Shakers

• Party Favor Stations: Set up a popcorn bar at your next party with various flavor shakers for guests to customize their own popcorn.
• Movie Night Magic: Create a fun and interactive movie night experience by offering different flavor shakers for everyone to try.
• Gourmet Gifts: Package a selection of popcorn flavor shakers with some gourmet popcorn kernels in a gift basket for a unique and thoughtful gift.

Combing these flavor shakers with microwave popcorn, makes for the ultimate (and super easy) movie night, where the whole family is happy. And you guys, after pulling out all my spices (like literally all of them) it only took about 15 minutes to whip up all 7 flavors

The flavorings we made are:

• Taco
• BBQ
• Italian
• Cool Ranch
• Mexican Hot Chocolate
• Nacho (Cheese)
• Salted Caramel

Now we pop a bag (or a few) and everyone in the family can shake on their favorite flavors! It is glorious! I can’t believe I didn’t try this earlier.

How to Use Popcorn Flavor Shakers

1. Pop Your Corn: Whether you use a popcorn machine, stovetop method, or microwave, ensure your popcorn is freshly popped and hot.
2. Shake It Up: While the popcorn is still warm, generously sprinkle your chosen flavor shaker over it. Toss the popcorn to ensure even coating.
3. Taste and Adjust: Start with a small amount and add more if needed. The key is to find the right balance of flavor intensity.

Storing Your Popcorn Flavor Shakers

• Cool and Dry: Keep your shakers in a cool, dry place to maintain their freshness and potency.
• Tightly Sealed: Ensure the lids are tightly closed after each use to prevent moisture from getting in.
